360 camera

[jjbartling]

I have an issue where my driver's side 360 camera just displays black when viewing the surround view. The other 3 cameras show an image. I took apart the mirror and removed the camera hoping I could at least verify power to it but it's just a single cable that looks like a mini coax type connection. Has anyone else experienced a failed camera itself? Before I buy a new camera wanted to know if it's likely just the camera or it could be something else.

All the cameras are the same. The easiest would be switching it with the camera in the tailgate.

I did just that now and the camera is not the issue. The backup camera is not the exact same but the connector would work so I was able to plug it in? Is it possible it became disconnected behind the uconnect module?

There is a module in the driver's side kick panel called the CVPM. This is where all the 360 cameras plug into. It could have come unplugged there. The Fakra cable could also be bad if the camera still works. Is it just black like the door is open? If you don't know what I mean, open the passenger side door while the 360 cameras are active. When a door is opened, the camera goes blank. Maybe the system thinks the door is open.

The door indicator shows up as open so that's not the issue. I checked the connection on the CVPM module and all are hooked up. The connectors are keyed differently so you can't swap to check the wiring to the camera. So either bad wiring or a messed up module it appears.
